"Third brother, you are more familiar with Chang'an city than I am. What do you recommend for buying gifts for the queen mother?" Tuobasi walked out of the palace gate, and he was not as familiar with Chang'an city as Chu Su who grew up in Chang'an. .

Chu Su also had a problem, it was not difficult to pick out some delicate gifts, but Empress Dowager Feng was already rich all over the world, so she had everything that Empress Dowager Feng should have, maybe something new, Chu Su really didn't know where to find it.

Tuobasi sighed, looking very melancholy, Chu Su felt a little embarrassed: "If it is an ordinary thing, the Empress Dowager may not be short of it, but if you want to choose something new, I really don't know where to find it."

Tuoba Si rubbed his chin, and let out an oops. He walked in a hurry today, and the green beard on his chin would be quite difficult to deal with in the future. Tuoba Si groaned for a while with his hands behind his back, and clapped his hands: "My mother is always To chant sutras and pay respects to the Buddha, and to pray for the great Wei, why don’t we go to a Buddhist temple, Chu Su, do you know any Buddhist temples near here?”

Chu Su suddenly understood, pointed to the direction outside the city and said, "There is a Buddhist temple on the outskirts of the city called White Horse Temple, where can Yuan Si go to see it?"

"However, there is some distance in the outskirts of the city. From now on, you will take this token and send two horses to the city guard in a while. Let's ride there." Tuoba Si took out a token from his bosom, which read Shangshu Tailing.

Chu Su took over the token, and the person holding the token is Shang Shuling, who has a great responsibility and has a deep connection with the emperor. All official documents and edicts are passed through the hands of Shang Shuling, Chu Su held the token and asked : "Yuan Si, this token is too heavy."

Tuobasi was too lazy to turn around as he walked, he waved his hands back and said nonchalantly: "Anyway, the old men at Shangshutai are going to retire and return to their hometowns, so it's not a good choice for you to take the top, although I personally think that you are a good person It's best when you give up, but if you keep giving up, I think it's really dishonoring your talent."

Tuobasi's tone was heavy, and it was after his careful consideration that Chu Su moved to the position of Shangshuling. The Shangshutai was set up in the palace. Although it was not as good as Tongshisheren's ability to meet with each other from time to time, it was still not humiliating Chu Su's talent. The best choice under the conditions.

Chu Su secretly breathed a sigh of relief, Shang Shuling should be Shang Shuling, as long as he doesn't stay with Tuoba Si every day, he is still willing.

The two took the horse and rushed to the White Horse Temple smoothly. Except for Tuoba Si who insisted that his horse was fast and almost fell when he tried to drive the horse, the journey was quite safe.

Inside the White Horse Temple.

Tuoba Si got off the horse, and asked Chu Su to lead the horse in a hurry, and ran in first by himself, although Chu Su was a little strange, but didn't think about it, and led the horse to the stable by himself.

As soon as Tuobasi entered the temple, the abbot of the temple greeted him. The abbot was quite a master, and when he saw Tuobasi, he saluted slightly and said softly: "Amitabha, Your Majesty is visiting our temple. Glory."

Tuobasi was also unambiguous, and said to the abbot: "Master Yinle, there is no need to be polite. I have a request. A young man in white and blue dark clothes will come to the temple in a while. He has an elegant temperament and wears a dragon on his waist. Wen Yuzhu, please stop him, Master Yin Le, don't let him look for my traces, and don't let him see the clues."

Abbot Yin Le put his palms together and said: "Amitabha."

Tuobasi then walked towards the inner courtyard of the Buddhist temple by himself, looking quite familiar with this place.

Inside a meditation room in Baima Temple.

The voices of a group of people talking are faint and dense, and if you don't pay attention, you can't tell the content. Tuobasi walks to the door with ease, and starts to eavesdrop. Serene, with some murderous intent in his eyes, he straightened up and was about to leave, but as if he couldn't swallow the anger, he took out a charcoal stick from his arms, brushed a few strokes and left a few big characters, and then left contentedly.

At the same time, Chu Su had just stepped into the White Horse Temple, and seeing that there were only a few scattered monks in the main hall except for the pedestrians who worshiped the Buddha, and Tuoba Si was not in the crowd, Chu Su was a little surprised and was about to approach inward After a while, I heard a thick voice coming from behind.

"Amitabha, the donor has a deep relationship with the Buddha, and the little monk can count a hexagram for the donor."

As soon as Chu Su turned around, he saw the owner of the voice. His beard covered the monk's face. Only his black eyes stared at Chu Su. There is only an outline left, and I don't know what method the monk used to put him on his feet.

Although Chu Su was frightened for a moment, his emotions were restrained very quickly, and he put his hands together and said reverently: "Dare to ask the master's name."

"The monk's dharma name is Tong Shou. Just now, the monk made a fortune for the benefactor. I don't know if the benefactor is willing to listen carefully?" Tong Shou said.

"I don't know if the master has made a calculation for me, which side is it calculated?"

"Marriage."

Chu Su's heart trembled, saying that Buddha knows everything, Chu Su was also curious in his heart, even though he didn't believe in Buddhism, but when he went to Buddha, Chu Su wanted to bet that Buddha would give him the marriage he wanted.

"Appreciate further details."

Tong Shou smiled, pointed at Chu Su's left foot and said, "Look, this is the red line of your marriage, the benefactor. Although the benefactor has feelings in his heart, there is no response to the love. The monk figured it out. You, the benefactor, hit unscrupulous people. This marriage line The other end is empty, and the love in the donor's heart is not true, so there is no lover at the other end."

"Chu Zhiyi!" Tuoba Si's voice came.Tuobasi left the meditation room in the backyard, but when he got to the front, he found that Chu Su had not yet entered the hall, so he had to come to look for it himself, and when he came out, he saw Chu Su standing with the mad monk, and hurried towards Chu Su.

It was just that his eyes were fixed on Chu Su, and his footsteps staggered. Tuoba Si looked down, and a red thread was firmly tied to his right foot. Tuoba Si almost fell down, and said angrily: "What is this? Thing, trip me up."

Tong Shou: "..."

Chu Su: "..."

Tong Shou patted Chu Su on the shoulder and said, "The benefactor knows that this is the benefactor's fate."

How could Chu Su want to believe that his fate could not be Tuobasi!His true feelings are all Fu Su's, even if he didn't respond, he would be happy, but why is Tuobasi, he and him are clearly people from two worlds, and even one day, they will be so-called enemies.

When Chu Su looked back, Tong Shou had disappeared, his eyes were almost red, Chu Su squatted and pulled the red thread, and wanted to tear it off, but found that the red thread was abnormally strong.

With a low growl, Chu Su slammed his fist on the ground of the bluestone bricks. The bluestone bricks made a muffled sound with such force, and several cracks appeared suddenly.Tuobasi also found that the red thread was not only tied to himself, but also to Chu Su, and what was even more strange was that Chu Su suddenly became so emotional for some reason.

Chu Su raised his head, his eyes were scarlet.Gritting his teeth, he said, "Cut it off!"

Tuoba Si took out the dagger from his bosom, and comforted him, "Okay, okay, cut it off, Chu Su doesn't like this red thread, I can chop it into powder for you."

For some reason, the red thread that Chu Su could not break with all his strength was replaced by Tuoba Si with a light knife, and it was broken. At this moment, Chu Su was not in the mood to be happy with Tuoba Si, and turned around and left as soon as the red thread was broken. Go, what nonsense etiquette of monarchs and ministers, he can't take care of it, he just wants to stay far away from Tuoba Si, and never meet him.

Although Tuoba Si had no way to persuade him to stay, he still kept an eye on it, picked up the red thread and put it in his bosom.Turn around and walk towards the temple.

In the main hall, Fu Su and his party walked out with low faces, and Xun Yu spotted Tuoba Si's figure with sharp eyes, and exclaimed in a low voice: "Isn't that Your Majesty, and there is that back, Junwang, does it look like it?" Chu Su."

Fu Su's face was gloomy, and when he saw Tuoba Si, he immediately expressed doubts: "Why did Tuoba Si suddenly appear here? I'm afraid he left the words just now."

Next to him was another strange man, who looked about 30 years old, with a dark complexion, a pair of triangular eyes, and a fierce aura that did not belong to ordinary people. Seeing Fu Su's frightened expression, he immediately cursed and said: "That man is the new emperor, my lord. Don't let me just do it for you..." The man stopped talking, and secretly wiped his neck.

Xun Yu immediately stopped the man, turned around and dragged the two of them to the Zen room in the backyard.

"There are no absolutes, my lord, let's go back to the meditation room first, and see that Tuobasi seems to come here alone, maybe it's just a coincidence."

The three of them returned to the original meditation room. The black-faced man glanced at the writing on the ground, and cursed: "This shitty thing, let me drag out the text, what kind of shit is the dark room guilty, even if you plan to do something, what is God's will? It's all bullshit .” The man wiped off the writing on the ground in twos and twos.

Fu Su was flustered and entered the Zen room without saying a word. Xun Yu said to the man, "General Zhang Man, don't worry, the county king hasn't responded to this matter yet, the general is making a fuss."

Zhang Man was a general in Yulin in the former Qin Dynasty. Once the country was destroyed, he wanted to commit suicide to die for his country, but his father forced him to surrender, so he had no choice but to surrender to Wei and was named a school lieutenant. Zhang Man couldn't figure it out, so he ran away In the army, he was brought back by the central government for his meritorious service against the Huns in the past few years.Seeing the old master Fu Su, he immediately expressed his loyalty, wishing to immediately restore his Fu family's former Qin world.

Fu Su entered the Zen room with an angry expression on his face. He gritted his teeth and said, "I must have been discovered too, Xun Yu. Rather than just sit and wait for death, it is better for me to strike first. There is no one around Tuobasi now. Let's kill him and plan for the future." !"

Zhang Man clapped his hands and shouted loudly: "My lord is right. The emperor looks like a crake. I'm afraid he won't be able to last a stick of incense under my hands."

Xun Yu sneered and said, "General Zhang Man, do you know how many guards are around Tuobasi? If the three of us really go to assassinate Tuobasi today, I'm afraid that Tuobasi will not be injured halfway. It's time for the guards to show up and chop us to pieces."

Only then did Fu Su gradually calm down, and said angrily, "This won't work, and that won't work, the only solution is to sit and wait for death?"

Xun Yu stood up with a sly smile in his eyes and saluted Fu Su: "Congratulations to the king first, the king is very happy."

Fu Su was overjoyed, and satirized himself: "This king is in danger now, how can we congratulate him?"

Xun Yu nodded and pointed outside the door: "The king of the county knows that what we discussed just now is a matter of seeking power and usurping the throne. If the person eavesdropping outside the door is Tuoba Si, he can call the guards to tie us up. , but why didn't Tuoba Si do this?"

Zhang Man couldn't understand and said: "Yes, is this emperor a fool?"

Tuobasi in the Buddhist temple sneezed a few times, and said strangely: "I can still get cold in the hot weather?"

Xun Yu sat down and drank a cup of tea by himself, and said to himself: "The great cause of the king's restoration of the country is very difficult. I am your counselor. Please trust me wholeheartedly. Today's warning words outside the door may be used. Help the king of the county to get [-] troops to protect the city, but I just ask the king of the county to promise me one condition."

Seeing that Fu Su was silent, Xun Yu continued: "Let's assume that the person outside the door today is Tuobasi. The county king may have thought about why Tuobasi was just a warning instead of directly restraining us. I will think about it carefully. This has something to do with Tuoba Si's character and even Young Master Chu Su!"

Fu Su opened his mouth and looked at Xun Yu with disbelief: "What does it have to do with Xiao Su? Could it be that Xiao Su can control Tuoba Si?"

Xun Yu nodded slowly and said: "What the king of the county said may be the truth. Tuoba Si, as his name suggests, is a person who only acts according to his own temperament. In my opinion, if a person with his temperament has someone he likes, the preferences of the person he likes will become his favorites, and he asked the county king to sacrifice Young Master Chu Su in exchange for fifty thousand soldiers and horses."

Fu Su immediately understood and said angrily: "They are all men, how could you let me sacrifice Xiao Su for the throne, how could Xiao Su condescend to a man for me because of his pride."

Xun Yu slammed the table fiercely, and said excitedly: "The kindness of a woman! For the throne of the county king, let alone sacrifice a Chu Su, even General Zhang Man, my Xun clan, and everyone around the county king. As long as you can help the king of the county to restore the country, these sacrifices are all righteous, and they are all the responsibilities and duties that we should fulfill. If the king of the county is not willing to persuade Mr. Chu Su, I am willing to be this villain."

Fu Su was completely stunned, and said after a long while: "Do you have to sacrifice Xiao Su? If Tuoba Si is as good as Long Yang, why don't we go and find some very good-looking men to offer to Tuoba Si?"

Xun Yu sneered, with some sarcasm deep in his eyes: "I am not in the palace, but I know that Tuoba treats Chu Su with sincerity, and what many beauties in the harem want but can't get, are all in Chu Su now. For Mr. Su, do you think there is anyone else who can replace him besides him?"

Fu Su fell silent, Zhang Man stood up in a hurry and said: "What is the difficulty? My lord is so hesitant. I also know that kid Chu Su. If he doesn't want to, I'll knock him out and send him to the palace. , why are you so hesitant, you are really like the late emperor in this regard."

Fu Su waved his hand to signal the two to be quiet, rubbed his brows and sighed, "Forget it, I'm afraid I won't like men if I'm high-spirited. It's difficult for him to condescend. Let me think about it." .”

Xun Yu shouted: "The King of the County is righteous." Standing up, he said: "Just the King of the County needs to know that I have already found out about the Longevity Day in January. On the day when the Empress Dowager gives a banquet, I will ask Your Majesty to choose a few young generals to lead the army. To be in charge of the imperial army, in order to treat everyone equally, Taifu Tuoba'an deliberately listed General Zhang Man among the candidates, and asked the county king to make a quick decision!"

Tuoba Si was outside, and made a safe knot by himself. In order to show his piety, he personally made an offering in front of the Buddha, and copied ten volumes of scriptures. Tuoba Si swore that he had never written so many words in his life, and Abbot Yin Le meditated beside him. He didn't say a word for an entire hour, just after Tuoba Si wrote the last word, Abbot Yin Le opened his eyes and said, "Amitabha."

"Your Majesty has a deep connection with Buddhism. These two peace knots will surely bless those who wear them. The poor monk also has something to give to His Majesty."

Yin Le took out a piece of red thread, about one foot long, Tuoba Si took it, pulled it, and said cheerfully: "Fang Zhang is quick, isn't this the red thread in my arms?" He stretched out his hand again, and there is still some red thread in his arms , looking at Yin Le with a bit of anger at the moment, the red thread was several meters long, and it tied himself and Chu Su, Tuoba Si felt that the meaning was good, and wanted to keep it for himself, but it was a careless one, and there was only one foot left.

Yin Le smiled helplessly, pointing to the red thread and said: "This is the sacred object of this temple. It is said that it is the red thread of Yuelao. I was cut into three pieces by you, and I gave you one piece because of fate."

"This is the marriage line, did the abbot lie to me?"

"Monks don't lie."

"In the quiet place of the Buddhist family, you don't get married, so what kind of marriage line are you looking after? Aren't you destroying people's marriage?" Tuobasi said in a complicated tone.

He didn't know whether he should be happy or angry. If he said that he liked Chu Su, there was a little bit of it, and there was some desire in it. But it can't be done, he thinks that the things he enjoys are infinitely changeable, if he only sticks to one side, it will be so boring.

Chu Mansion.

Chu Su almost drank all the wine in the mansion. For these mysterious things, Chu Su has always held an attitude of respect and distance, but what the so-called Monk Tong Shou said today, but he spoke from the bottom of his heart. If there is no response, he can admit it if he believes it, but if he wants to believe that his lover is Tuoba Si, he will not believe it, and it is impossible to admit it.

Thinking of being upset, Chu Su started to drink himself again, and he didn't know when he had been drinking. Chu Su only felt that his whole body was numb. Tuoba is gone.

"Xiao Su...Xiao Su? Why do you drink so much?"

Chu Su vaguely heard a sentence, only felt his eyelids heavy, and muttered: "Young master...Young master."

Of course Fu Su heard it clearly, and stepped forward to help Chu Su who was lying on the ground, Chu Su barely opened his eyelids, seeing that it was Fu Su, the strong emotion in his heart could no longer be suppressed, and he hugged Fu Su suddenly, He muttered in his mouth: "My lord, don't let me go."

Fu Su thought that Chu Su had been wronged, and remembered those things when he was a child, so he patted and comforted him: "Xiao Su is not afraid, the young master is by my side guarding you."

This guard lasted until midnight, until Chu Su woke up from drunkenness and opened his eyes, and found himself leaning on Fu Su's shoulder, feeling ashamed and annoyed at the moment, poured yellow soup by himself, and the murdered son lay on the floor with him, Chu Su Rubbing between his eyebrows, his head felt like it had been hit hard, and it was humming and painful. He didn't know if he had done anything out of line when he was drunk.

"Are you awake? Does your headache hurt?" Fu Su woke up immediately after hearing the movement, straightened up and rubbed her sore and numb arms, muttering as if she was a child: "After so many years by my side, the first Seeing you drinking so much wine, what's wrong with you? Can't even I say something on my mind? "

Chu Su paused, still holding the thin quilt in his hand, smiled bitterly for a long time and said, "Master, Xiao Su..." But when the words came to his lips, Chu Su couldn't utter a word, and looked at Fu Su with cold hands and feet. With questioning eyes, he was immediately discouraged and shook his head.

Fu Su snorted softly and said, "Is there anything we can't say between you and me?" Then Fu Su shook his head, with a heartbroken look: "Could it be that Xiao Su entered the palace and alienated me? .”

Chu Su held back his strength, and after a long time, he said softly, "My lord, Chu Su has someone he likes."

Fu Su looked shocked, saying that he was shocked but with mixed feelings of sadness and joy. Chu Su has someone he likes. It has been 17 years since Chu Su entered his house at the age of seven, and it was the first time that Chu Su told him that he There are people I like.

Fu Su smiled, and then asked. "Who is so lucky to be liked by my little Su?"

Chu Su smiled bitterly. Isn’t the person he likes right in front of him? Fu Su was happy at first, but he hesitated again when he came here for his own purpose. Fu Su thought that the aptitude of those maids in the palace was really not good enough for his little Su.

Fu Su's heart trembled and he hurriedly said: "Xiao Su, although it's not very good, but brother still has to tell you, all women in the harem have their own masters, so don't be stupid."

Chu Su chuckled, his son is sometimes cute and silly, Fu Su thought it was impossible, Chu Su's usual attitude of rejecting people thousands of miles away sometimes gave him a headache, let alone others, everyone Standing beside Chu Su on a hot day, his heart and body felt chilly.

Fu Su's heart trembled again. Ordinary women can't catch Chu Su's eyes. Could it be a man? Fu Su tentatively asked: "What Xiao Su likes... is it a man?"

Chu Su pursed his lips, even a fool could see the meaning in his eyes, Fu Su blurted out immediately: "You don't really like Tuobasi, do you?"

Chu Su couldn't help but think of what happened at the White Horse Temple again, and immediately said emotionally: "Impossible! How could I like Tuoba Si? It's absolutely impossible, my lord, don't misunderstand!"

Seeing his excited appearance, Fu Su remembered Xun Yu's entrustment, and after a long time said slowly: "I heard some rumors recently, this Xun Yu advised me to make some decisions... You know, if I get the military power, The chances of restoring the country are much greater, but there is a huge difficulty...."

Chu Su faintly felt that the difficult matter that Fu Su said might have a great connection with him, Chu Su imitated Fu Su, patted his shoulder and said: "Your matter is also Su's matter, even if the road ahead is rough, Su will not be afraid." .”

"I heard that Tuobasi likes you, if you can control him, our people will control the imperial army, and you will control the palace, our great cause..."

Fu Su was really guilty, and he was reluctant to let Chu Su sacrifice his life, but this reluctance seemed unbearable in front of the word Fuguo. The expression on Chu Su's face was filled with indescribable grief. He stared at Fu Su, but he could only see Fu Su's hesitation.

Chu Su chuckled lightly and said, "My lord, do you really care? Even if Su's innocence is sacrificed, don't you care?"

Fu Su coughed lightly and said: "I know I have wronged you, but I would give my life in front of the great cause. That Tuoba Si likes you very much, and I know that I will commit myself to him... this..." Stumbled He wanted to say some words of persuasion, but Fu Su knew that nothing he said would be of any use to Chu Su.

"I promise you."

"Um???"

Chu Su calmly said, "I promise you, Chu Su is nothing for the sake of your son's great cause, but Su will not take the initiative to flatter him."

Fu Su stood up and hugged Chu Su and said: "Okay! My good brother, with your words, I will not treat you badly. Fu Su's heart will always have your place."
